I left school in 1995 always wanting to become a graphic artist. So in 2002, I decided to start freelancing to see where my design skills could get me. I did mostly corporate identities. I love drawing; always have. I'd prefer to draw by hand than use the computer. I'm also a very keen photographer, and mostly take photos of landscapes and interesting compositions. I also like architectural work and did some interior designs with a community organisation - this was voluntary when I was only 18. I've done a lot of restaurant work ..mostly waiting...but this is only to get enough cash together to pay for my courses. But it's good too because I really love working with people, and in a restaurant you have to work with others and deal with customers every day. That's the really challenging part! I'm into music as well - I have a broad taste. I love art and go to galleries as often as I can. In 5 years, I would love to be the creative designer or, running my own business either in Australia or abroad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROFILE Excellent customer service skills Good listening and analysis skills Ability to work and relate to people in diverse working environments Ability to manage customers at all levels Developed excellent relationships with customers and employees Team player Effectively communicate with people of all ages Experienced in advising customers / clients Speak fluent Greek.
